This week’s In Class With Carr episode with Dr. Greg Carr and Karen Hunter kicks off Blackest History Month by pushing back on the idea that African education exists only as a response to oppression. Instead, the conversation centers African knowledge as a continuous system.
Using Africana Studies frameworks, the episode connects today’s political flashpoints, from disputes over the National Park Service’s President’s House site in Philadelphia to white nationalist attacks on free expression and shifting global power dynamics, to long-standing questions about who controls history, whose knowledge counts and how memory survives.
Rather than treating February as symbolic, Carr and Hunter frame Blackest History Month as a call to action: a recommitment to African Ways of Knowing that are communal, cumulative and rooted in deep genealogy, systems of thought that reject erasure and insist on continuity in the face of disruption.
